I'm thinking the reason is not so much to point out Obama's sort-of 
opposition to gay marriage, as it is to frame the debate in terms of 
"redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage" in order to 
allow gay marriage, whereas this proposition is actually to *redefine* 
it to not include gay marriage. Or maybe they're just clutching at straws.
